And what's the difference between religion that looks right on the outside and faith that actually produces something real? ▶ Spotify ▶ Apple Podcasts ▶ Amazon Music |
✍ From the Study Notes "They profess to know God, but by their actions they deny Him. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit for any good deed." — Titus 1:16, BSB |
Tested and Found Wanting. Paul closes Titus 1 with a word drawn from the metalworker's shop: adokimos — metal that has been examined and rejected as counterfeit. Religious appearance on the surface, but nothing genuine underneath when tested. It's a sobering image, and Paul means it as a mirror, not a verdict. The gap between what we confess and how we live is real — and it matters. What would it look like, this week, to close that gap by even one step? |
